Information about CBD
CBD, or cannabidiol, is a compound derived from the cannabis plant that has received a lot of attention in recent years for its potential therapeutic applications. Below, you can read more about what CBD is, how it works in the body, and what science says about it.
What is CBD?
-
CBD is one of over 100 cannabinoids that occur naturally in the cannabis plant.
-
Unlike THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), CBD is non-psychoactive , meaning it does not cause a “high.”

CBD is usually extracted from industrial hemp, a cannabis variety with a low THC content.

-
Has anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties
-
Can help with anxiety and stress (anxiolytic effect)
-
Being studied in connection with various complaints such as insomnia, epilepsy, inflammation and more

How does CBD work with the endocannabinoid system?
The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is a complex cell signaling system that helps regulate crucial bodily functions such as mood, pain perception, appetite, and the immune system.
-
CBD affects the ECS by binding to cannabinoid receptors (particularly CB1 and CB2).
-
In addition, it indirectly increases the amount of the body's own endocannabinoids.
-
This interaction helps maintain homeostasis – a stable internal balance in the body.
What is CBDa?
CBDa (cannabidiolic acid) is the acidic precursor to CBD and is found in raw cannabis plants.
-
Research suggests that CBDa may have anti-inflammatory and anti-nausea properties.
-
CBDa is present in all of Zensey's CBD, CBN, and CBG products.
